PVHS had 86 researchers compete with 53 projects at the PVPSEF Science Fair at the South Coast Botanical Gardens. The following students were recognized in their respective categories.
Savannah Scriven was selected to be a finalist at the Regenron ISEF International Science Fair. Every year, tens of millions of students participate in local science fairs around the globe but only about 1,800 earn the right to compete for nearly $5 million awards bestowed each May at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). Savannah is representing PVHS after receiving 1st place in Earth and Environmental Sciences.
In the Physics category, the team of Daniel, Kapil and John placed 2nd and Amyrah Doty won third. Abbie Maemoto placed 2nd in Cellular and Molecular Biology. Charlotte Tight placed 2nd in Behavioral Sciences and the team of Nolan Brandt and Phillipe Wiederkehr placed 2nd in Earth and environmental sciences. Jacob Hageman and Carter Harrigian teamed up to place 1st in Behavioral Sciences with their work on rewatching the effect of energy drinks on black worms. And in Animal Sciences, Gavin Peters placed 1st, Anne-Sophie Corry in 2nd and Jessica Bahny in 3rd. Congratulations to all of our students and thank you to Mrs. Munoz for all of her help and support throughout this process!
